Flexible brainstorming – Allows you to set and change how you brainstorm online throughout your activity

GroupMap makes your planning and group decision making a lot easier and more efficient by providing a set of customizable brainstorming tools which you can use to fit your activity or design your own activity to brainstorm online. The results are exportable and you get even more insight into how people participated, statistics on ideas and evidence of the process. It removes the effect of group think and reticence in traditional brainstorming and gives facilitators a set of unique features that ensures greater focus on the issue at hand. Participants can brainstorm online directly from their smartphone, tablet, laptop or PC – before, during or after the event.

Decision Making

GroupMap is an ideal decision making tool for facilitators, consultants and other fans of collaborative decision making. It provides a simple but insightful way to give participants a way to choose the best ideas.

Participants can position ideas along a scale, or in order on a list so you get a prioritised list that can be visualized quickly.

Use voting for group decision making through the idea of dotmocracy, allowing them to either allocate one or more dot votes to an idea. These are automatically tallied in the results, allowing you to sort and size them according to the number of dot votes.

Use sliders and let participants rate ideas on up to 3 dimensions for each idea (e.g. low to high, happy to unhappy). Display the ideas by the average rating but then drill down to see how each idea was rated by everyone.

Use likes and dislikes on ideas to get a sense of which ideas are getting the thumbs up or thumbs down.

Use the suggestive style of brainstorming which “suggests’ a number ideas in turn between participants allowing them to add or remove it (from their map only) to indicate consensus, without the impact of information overload and groupthink.

These features are just some of the ways you can enhance your group decision making process. Our group decision tool is designed to improved collaborative decision making which improves engagement, morale and buy in for the final action.
